it is thin like Cruel, salt and sweeten
to the taste. For g. twO.quart basin

cup OF -four, then beat good, then a lit

BOILED COD.
A goldfish is so much thicker at one
end than the other that it is impossi-
bic to have all parts evenly cooked in
boiling So it is g. good plan to cut
the fish in half, boiling the head and
shoulders fthe thickest part) for din
ner, and reserving the thin end to broil
for breakfast next day. It will keep if
surinkled thickly with salt on the IN
side.
TOAST.
Many seem to think that they have
made toast when they brown the out
side OF a slice of bread. Have they?
The object In making toast is to evap-
crate al moisture from the bread, and
holding a slice over the fire to SINCE
does not accomplish this; it only
warns the moisture, making the in
side OF the bread doughty and decided
pairing it is to cut the bread into slices
quarter OF an inch thick, trim off all
crust, put the slices in a pan or plate,
place them in the oven-which must
not be too hot-take them out when
a delicate brown and butter at once.
CHARLOTTE Russo.
Dissolve half an ounce of gelatine In
half 8 pint Of cold water. Whip a pint
OF sweet cream to a stiff froth and add
to it the whites of two eggs, beaten I'M
I'll they are firm. When the gelatine
is dissolved let it come almost to boil
ing point and strain it into the egg and
cream; sweeten all with four ounces of
powdered sugar, and flavor with q
desert-spoOnful OF vanilla. Beat Gll
together and turn into a mould lined
with thin pieces OF sponge cake. Set
on the ice for three hours and serve.
sTEWED STEAK.
Put one pound of tender, thick steak,
having g littlefat, in saucepan. Pour
over It two cups Of boiling water and
a finely minced onion, seasoning with
salt and pepper. Spread g. thick lay
er OF mushrooms on top Of the steak;
cover the saucepan tight and set it
where it will simmer, about two inch
es above The level of the fire. The
saucepan should not be uncovered un-
I'll the steak is to be removed to the
dish. Forty minutes is enough time
to cook it to turn.
TO CLEAN GLASS AND sILVERWARE.
Egcshelis crushed into small bits,
and shaken well in decanters three
parts filed with cold water, will not
only clean them thoroughly, but make
the glass look like new. By rubbing
with q flannel dipped in the best whit
ing, the brown discoloration may be
taken of cups in which custards have
been baked. Again, all of us are aware
that emery powder will remove ordi-
nary stains from the white ivory knife
handles, and that the lustre ofmoroc-
CO leather is restored by vanishing
with white of egg. Nothing, it is said,
is better to clean silver with than al
cohol or ammonia, finishing with g. lit
tie whiting on soft cloth. When put
ting away the silver tea or coffee pot
which is not in use every day, lay g.
stick across the top under the cover.
This will allow fresh air to get in, and
prevent the mustiness of the contents
familiar to boarding-ho sufferers.
